(ISC)2 CISSP Certification Now Comparable to Masters Degree Standard
(ISC)² announced that the Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) certification has been found comparable to Level 7 of the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF) in the UK, denoting that the certification is comparable to Masters degree standard.
This further validates the achievement of CISSP-certified professionals in their ongoing career and qualification progression and supports educational institutions looking to determine weighting of a relevant certification to award course credits, says (ISC)². It follows the American Council on Education’s College Credit Recommendation Service (ACE CREDIT®) recognizing six (ISC)2 certifications as eligible for college credit.
